Default Recommended cherries?

I've grown black cherry and sungold before, but since I want to try something new. What are some of the best cherry tomatoes?

Try Snow White. It is a very sweet tomato. The color is white to a very pale yellow.

I really like Galinas Yellow cherry. Rose Quartz Mulit-flora is fun and very tasty, but I found I had to pick them in bunches and then strip them off the vine right before eating because they split really easy on the stem end. Some others that we've liked are Isis candy and Green Grape.

for sheer resilience I have to toss in sweet 100.. I had one last year that went thru a flood, a drought a near total blight rampage thru my other tomatoes. it just kept going and going.. topped out at 14' before we got tired of picking tomatoes every 3 days with a ladder and a big salad bowl thru october.

does not match some of the others mentioned on big flavor, but one I can count on no matter what. It was in a 10 gallon container.

Sunsugar is one of my favorites.
I preferred the taste over sungold,sweeter than sungold.

I recommend the hybrid Tami G, which apparently also goes by the name Agriset. It is a huge plant that produces great yields of very sweet red grape cherries.

Also I received the OP variety Blondkopfchen in the Wintersown.org SASE offer and planted it one year. It produced thousands of tasty little yellow cherries. (I don't think "thousands" was exaggerating...)

Black Cherry, Sungold, Green Dr. Frosted, Galina's Yellow, Dr. Carolyn Pink, Red Pear.

I've grown Black Cherry, Sungold, and Red Pear in the past.

Red Pear really isn't anything special, it's just cute and I use cooked in a few dishes.

Next year - I need to try Blush.

I really love the Sweet 100 OP. Not to be confused with the hybrid Sweet 100. The OP is not quite as sweet but has a very deep rich ole fashion tomato flavor. It is like eating a bottle of ketchup in a little cherry. Extremely prolific and productive.

What does Dr. Carolyn Pink taste like? It sounds interesting.

I'm just wondering- are there any cherries that taste more acidic than the others?

There is a lot of variability in taste. To me, Black Cherry tastes like a big black tomato. Sungold is extremely sweet. Others also vary, of course.

Dr. Carolyn Pink - I'm really looking forward to finding out what it tastes like, I'm growing it for the first time this year.
